$900M Allocated for Electric School Buses Across U.S.

Michigan is set to receive $25 million in federal funding to add 104 electric school buses across 27 school districts as part of the 2023 Clean School Bus Program. This initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality for schoolchildren. Grand Rapids Public Schools and the Kent Intermediate School District will receive the largest shares of the funding, with plans to add 15 electric buses each. The state has also allocated $125 million in state funds to further support the transition to cleaner school transportation.
